This does however ignore the psychology of selling which is something to which we will return on many occasions in this report.
However, if we accept this basic definition for the time being, we can begin to look at the differences between selling on the internet and selling products or services in the real world of high street, bricks and mortar businesses.
The major difference between selling online and doing so in the real world is that the whole process of selling on the internet is far less personal than it would be if you were selling products or services to local businesses in your neighborhood.
For example, imagine that you are a sales person for a local offline business. In this case, you would be constantly calling existing customers and prospects on the telephone, making appointments to go and see them, sorting out problems for your customers and so on. In short, everything about your job would be hands-on and whilst a degree of what you do would not be face-to-face, a significant proportion of your everyday work activities would involve meeting customers and prospects in person.
As someone who has over 25 years experience running sales teams who sold a huge range of products and services in the real world (from long-term investment plans to toner cartridges for laser printers), I can tell you that for most people who do not think that they can sell, meeting customers or prospects face to face is the most fraught and stressful aspect of the selling idea. This is perfectly natural because in a face-to-face meeting of this nature, you are at your most exposed and 'naked'. You are in a position where you feel uncomfortable and perhaps even embarrassed which is unfortunately a position where mistakes are most often made.
For instance, I have seen many young salespeople being far too eager to please prospects and customers who have fallen into the trap of making very basic errors in their understandable eagerness to keep their customer (and their boss) happy.
One classic situation is where, upon being faced with a question to which they do not know the answer, they make what is (at best) a fairly uneducated guess at what they think might be the correct response. This is instead of doing the correct thing by telling the customer truthfully that they don't know the answer but that they would go straight back to the office to find the information before reporting back to the customer.
The latter 'investigate and report back' strategy becomes more natural and comfortable as experience teaches you that you can never know everything about your business and that your customers don't really expect you to either. In the early days however, it's a different story, because it is often hard for new salespeople to admit that they don't know everything.
Now, contrast this scenario with the online selling situation. When you promote a product or service online, you almost never end up talking to a customer on the telephone, far less meeting them. This does not of course mean that you cannot do so and there might be advantages to doing so as we shall see.
Nevertheless, partially because of the truly global nature of online business and partially because it is not really expected, the vast majority of online marketers will only ever have a limited amount of personal contact with their prospects and customers. Furthermore, any personal contact that exists is unlikely to require an immediate, 'on the spot' response to queries or questions either, so there is a good deal less pressure involved too.
As most communication between online business owners and customers or prospects is likely to be by e-mail or by short messages being pinged backwards and forwards via a messaging service such as Skype, Yahoo or MSN, it is far less likely that you will make the mistakes prompted by trying to provide immediate information in the way that there is in the offline business world. There is considerably less pressure in other words.
Now, this is not to say that the world of online business is perfect as this lack of personal contact or inter-reaction can bring its own problems. For example, if you are dealing with a prospect or customer face-to-face, you can read their body language and make decisions based upon their reactions to what you are saying, which is something every good offline sales person learns to do sooner or later. If however you are dealing with someone via e-mail, you obviously have no ability to 'read' what your prospect or customer really needs or wants from their body language in the same way.
There is therefore a slightly increased potential for misunderstanding and even disputes. This is for example one of the reasons why using humor in this kind of situation is often a bad idea, because humor does not necessarily translate particularly well across international boundaries and what you think is funny could appear to be sarcastic or demeaning to someone on the other side of the world.
There are therefore some undeniable advantages to being able to meet prospects or customers face-to-face. This one of the reasons why an increasing number of businesses which sell products or services on the net (particularly digital information products) are beginning to feature information about the physical location of their business on their websites.
For instance, I have seen a few sites recently which displayed a picture of their office location, together with detailed instructions on how to find them with telephone and fax numbers attached, office opening hours detailed and so on.
All of this is an obvious but nevertheless worthy attempt to establish a degree of personal contact with potential customers. Whilst there should be little doubt that this is 'window dressing' to a certain degree -remember that anyone selling a digital information product is selling it all over the world, so the percentage of prospects who are local enough to visit them is tiny - it is still a clear step to becoming more 'people friendly'. Whether you choose to do this yourself for your own business is entirely up to you, although if you do something like this, I seriously doubt whether you are going to have a torrent potential customers coming through the door every day for coffee.
Nevertheless, the bottom line still remains. Running a business on the internet makes it a little easier for you to remain in control of most sales related situations because there is always time to think of the correct response in almost every situation.
This does not however suggest that you should shy away from building relationships with your prospects.
This in fact is the last thing you should do, because as you will read in the next chapter, the strength of the relationships that you can build with your prospects and customers will often be the factor that decides how successful your business is.
The point however is that everyone can sell online, because it is entirely up to you how much you immerse yourself in the sales process. You could for example set the whole thing up so that 99% of your sales business runs itself if you want to (although I would not recommend it). Consequently, even if in reality you are an incredibly shy person who probably wouldn't be particularly profitable as a sales person 'out on the road', no-one out there on the net has the first idea about how shy you are and they have no reason to discover this either. If you can run web searches and send e-mail messages, you can sell products or services online, it is as simple as that.
Thus, the first step to selling more online is to believe that you can do so.
If you have a 'can't do' attitude, you almost guarantee that your prediction will come true and you will fail. The truth is, you can sell online - anyone can with the right systems and processes in place -and the first step to selling more is to banish these negative thoughts forever.

You want to get your online business going right away, but don't want to make a choice you'll later regret.Ã� The Internet is really just a modern sales channel. For the most part, you can visualize a web site as a great replacement for a printed catalog you might receive in the mail. If the potential customer really needs a sensory experience in order to make a purchase decision, you can't sell it online. Otherwise, you have a good shot at being successful with it.
It's helpful to step back and look at the big picture. Do you want to sell a product or a service? If you want to sell a product, will it be a physical one that you (or someone else) will need to ship, a digital one that can be downloaded, or perhaps a recurring product such as membership at a web site that you built? Once you've made that determination, then you can narrow your search.
Next, you need to think about your target demographic, whether it's according to age, interest group, etc. The product or service will certainly be different if you want to sell to teens than if you want sell to new moms or retirees. The last thing you want to do is target everybody! Pick a specialty and make your mark.
Gathering Ideas:
If you don't have any idea what to sell online to make money, you may browse the Internet and learn about what consumers are buying. Check Google Trends, magazines.com, eBay Pulse, and similar sites to see where the money (and interest) is flowing. Another way to find out what to sell is by participating in forums on various subjects.
Physical Products:
When it comes to hawking physical products eBay is probably what people think of first. That's certainly one choice, whether you're selling in auctions or in an eBay store. If you don't like stocking inventory, you can sell products from a drop shipping company. Through them you can sell thousands products and not have to deal directly with shipping. You make the sale, and they send it to the customer for you (for a fee, of course). But your profit margin will be larger if you buy 1000 widgets and store them in your garage, than if you sell one widget online, then buy it through a drop shipper.
BlackSocks(dot)com is a great example of what would seem to be a very limited market. It started out selling nothing but black socks, on a subscription program, to English businessmen. It has since expanded to include things like boxer shorts, but it's still a pretty simple business compared to most in the clothing industry. Tightly focused businesses can be very lucrative.
Digital Products:
Compared to physical products, digital ones have higher profit margins, and can be "delivered" more easily. You can sell e-books, audio books, software, videos, website templates, plug-ins, among others. Many of us already prefer digital goods to physical ones. Why fill a bookshelf when you can fill you hard drive instead? People often start as affiliates, selling other people's products, then after they are more experienced develop their own digital products. If you don't feel ready to create a product from scratch, you can buy products with private label rights, so you can make some modifications and legitimately call them your own.
Membership Programs:
Membership sites are attractive to online marketers because they provide recurring income. They are mainly oriented towards people who are passionate about their hobby, such as forex investors or scrapbookers. The sites are a bit trickier to set up, because you need to provide a secured area for members, along with an unsecured area for those who are just browsing. Membership sites are a great way to market your private label rights products.
Summary:
To decide what to sell online to make money, look at things from the perspective of the consumer. First find out what products are in demand, then locate or create a product or service to fill the demand. If you really want to dominate a niche, make it a tightly focused one; somewhere on the spectrum between "every tool available" and "left handed monkey wrenches" there's a sweet spot.

But it really isn't nearly as challenging as some may think. Selling online has become a booming business, especially with the downturn in the economy making it necessary for people to find additional sources of income. With this increase in demand for sales outlets came a concurrent increase in the supply of places to turn for help.
There are many venues already in place that are looking for sellers as much as you may be looking for someplace to sell. These include sites like eBay and Amazon.com. But there is also the personal website option that can just as lucrative. Both selling techniques have their pros and cons, and I'll try to highlight the most significant ones here.
One of the easiest ways to get your introduction to online sales is by selling on one of the existing marketplaces-eBay and Amazon being two of the largest. These are also ideal outlets if you just have a few things around the house that you'd like to trade for some extra spending money, but you really aren't interested in setting up a long term business.
Pros to selling on an existing marketplace:
No advertising expense
Ease of use
Enormous customer base
Tracking tools
With eBay and Amazon, you as a seller have no need to advertise, saving you a tidy sum in advertising costs. Everyone already knows these players in the market, and most people who go shopping online often start on one of these sites. These marketplaces are so large and diversified that it can easily be a one-stop shop for multiple items.
With existing marketplace sites, once you've set up your account, you have access to their easy-to-use listing templates. These are specifically designed for average people who don't have a PhD in computer science. It's simply a matter of filling in a few blanks pertaining to the item you're listing and using their upload tool to upload some pictures of it from your computer (you'll need a digital camera and know how to upload pictures to your hard drive). Part of the signup process is walking a new user through this whole process step by step.
eBay and Amazon have enormous customer followings. As mentioned before, many people looking to purchase something online often start their search on one of these sites. That makes it possible for you to put your listings right in front of all the people who may be looking for just such an item. eBay also offers the added feature of allowing you to list your items as either an auction or fixed price listing. For very popular items, it may be beneficial to list as an auction and let potential buyers bid against each other to get you as high a price as possible. You can further enhance this option by establishing what is known as a reserve, which is a minimum price you're willing to accept (so if the bidders don't meet your minimum, you're under no obligation to consummate the sale).
Many of these established shopping sites also offer their sellers some type of tracking tool. This allows a seller to monitor market interest in their listings, such as how high the current bid is on an active auction or how many people are "watching" their listings. They also have handy reporting templates that provide concise and easy to read reports on outstanding listings and past sales.
Cons to selling on an existing marketplace:
Listing fees
Final value fees
Preference toward buyers
Competition
No matter which marketplace you use, they're going to charge fees. eBay charges a fee to list your item; the amount is based on the price you're listing it at. If you subscribe to their online store, this listing fee is fixed and usually a substantially smaller amount than those for individual listings. This listing fee is charged for every new listing as well as each time you relist an item that didn't sell. Amazon does not charge any fees to list.
Both eBay and Amazon charge much more substantial fees when an item sells. These are known as final value fees, and are usually a percentage of the sale price plus a percentage of the shipping charge. Amazon has a fixed and variable component to their final value fee, but it boils down to the same thing: the more you sell it for, the more they get. This is a cost of doing business with the large marketplace site and taking advantage of the services and features they offer.
When you sell on an existing marketplace to access their huge customer base of shoppers, you also encounter their huge pool of sellers, any of whom may be selling the same thing as you. Herein lies the competition factor. When you're preparing to list an item, do a little quick research to see what other sellers are listing that same item for. This will help you to establish a competitive price for your listing. One thing to keep in mind is that a newcomer to eBay or Amazon has no track record to speak for them. A more seasoned seller has a cumulative feedback score from past buyers to give a new buyer a confidence level with them. As a newcomer with no feedback score, it may be wise to take a little cut on the profit to give yourself a competitive edge over the seasoned seller with a good feedback score in his/her corner.
If you're interests lie with setting up an ongoing business concern online, you may want to consider your own website. The internet is overflowing with web hosting sites-some free, some charge a modest fee for their services-and they all offer easy to use templates to setup a professional looking website where you can list your inventory. You'll link your site to your payment processing service (PayPal is the most trusted of such service providers), and sell your items directly to the public without any fees or charges by a third party such as eBay or Amazon. One obstacle is that you will be responsible for getting the traffic (potential shoppers) to your site without the good name of eBay or Amazon to piggyback on.
The first step in getting your website seen is to make sure it's indexed in the major search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo. If your site isn't indexed, their webcrawlers won't find it. If their webcrawlers don't find it, no one else will either because it won't show up in any search results. Once it's indexed, you'll want to get your site as far up on the search results as possible. Shoppers typically start at the top of the list and work down, but they'll most likely find what they want at the price they're willing to pay before they get to-say-the third page of results. If your site shows up on the fourth page, they'll never get to you, even if you offer the same item at a better price.
This is where the concept of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) comes into play. This is the art of maximizing exposure to a website as economically as possible. Two methods usually employed to accomplish this is article writing and pay per click advertising.
Writing articles that conspicuously include a link to your website and a detailed description of what it offers is an excellent place to start. These articles should be loaded with keywords matching the content of your website. Every website has a theme, and every theme has certain keywords that are descriptive of it. For example, if you're selling bed sheet sets on your website, keywords (or phrases) would include: bedding, sheet sets, king size sheets, queen size sheets and bed sheets. You could have a very lengthy list of keywords, and you should be sure to use any that may be applicable. It's these keywords that the search engines use to identify possible matches to a shopper's search inquiry. The more keywords you use, the better your chances of the search engines returning your site among those they display.
You'll want to get these keyword articles published in online magazines or general article sites that are well known and have a lot of exposure. Just like selling on a well known site like eBay gets your inventory in front of shoppers by virtue of eBay's reputation, getting an article published on a well known publishing site is a good way to get your website address in front of people searching for what your website offers. Use the publisher's notoriety to get people to see your article, let your article get them to your website. Be sure your address is a link directly to your website, and you're only one short step away from directing that traffic directly to your site.
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is another more direct, and costly, method of driving traffic to your site. Here you establish an account with an online advertising service like Google AdWords. You design the ad you want to display. The ad will include a link to your site and a list of all the keywords pertinent to your site. The keywords will determine which sites are the best matches in the search results. When your ad appears somewhere in the search results, it's called an impression. Each time a browser (potential customer) clicks on that impression, they go right to your site. While that click may or may not result in a sale, it will definitely result in a fee you'll have to pay the advertising service. How much you're willing to pay them for each of those clicks determines how far up on the search results your ad appears. It's basically a bribe to the search engines to get your ad posted in a more visible place to attract more potential customers.
Care should be taken in using PPC advertising. If you don't choose your keywords carefully when you set up the advertisement, you could be getting a lot of traffic that isn't really interested in what you are selling. Clicks cost money, and all those wasted clicks can add up to some serious expense with no revenue to offset it.

Or have you been thinking about what you could teach and share with others? Are you interested in getting it online and running? Can you make a meaningful living doing this? Let's take a look at the some of the powerful tools that are available to you. I'm going to tell you how to create and sell online courses. I can think of about 100 things that you need to consider before you launch your course.
1. Do Some Research on Supply and Demand for your Course
Find out how to price this course, or if people will even be interested in it. Before you invest a lot of time and money into the project, know that you'll get a favorable outcome.
2. As Things Develop
In the development phase, you will have many things to focus on. While you're designing your course, concentrate on building value into it. Value is the most important factor in your course's success.
3. Watch Your Time Management
Make sure to have the course ready to go when it's supposed to. Budget your time as you go to prevent a panic at the end.
4. Find the Sweet Spot
Work in the area where your knowledge and passion intersect. Determine what problem you are solving with your course. Layer that in and you've got it!
5. Integrate Different Learning Styles
People learn in different ways. Vary the course content to include visual aids and videos, along with activities to do along the way.
6. Choose Your Dates
Decide what day you will begin accepting enrollment, and when your course will start. This will help you to establish your time line and grand plan for the work.
7. Check the URL
You want to get a great URL for your course as soon as you develop the name for it. Start checking... keep it simple!
8. Keep It Clever!
Be sure to give your courses short, catchy names. Remember, it's got to grab them right away.
9. Verify First
Check and make sure that the catchy name you think of is actually your original thought. Make sure it's not registered to someone else.
10. Create Your Course Outline
Have the roadmap to understand where you are going with the course. Know what you need to cover, and when you should introduce it.
11. Keep Success in Mind
Every aspect of your content planning should lead to success for the student. How will it help them be more successful?
12. Develop Your Content
Do your research and make sure your content is interesting and unique. Make sure it fills a need. What do people want to learn about? What will they buy?
13. Create Your Branding
Create the branding for your course. What is it about? What does it improve? What does it address within your niche?
14. Use Subject Matter Experts
Bounce things off an expert on your topic. Use them to help you write, or to check for accuracy, especially if you're not sure.
15. Look for Win-Win Partnerships
When you are trying to promote your courses, who can help? Form alliances with folks that can benefit from your success as you launch your online courses.
16. Decide whether you will use free or paid web hosting
If you are building a site for commerce, which I assume you are, then the flexibility of paid hosting will work best for you.
17. Considering using a service that offers e-commerce design and help.
If you want someone in your corner to help, they can get you started, show you how to manage your site, and build your confidence.
18. Choose your Platform
Will you use a service to build your website? If so, consider one with the best plug ins. Use all the tricks you can to make your site work for you.
19. Get Plugged In
There are plugins that can get your courses online and manage them well. Familiarize yourself with the different software available before you decide.
20. Consider Course Management Software
Use your course management software to load the course content on your site. Follow your course outline. Inspect and make sure the progression is right.
21. Look for the eCommerce Solution for Your Marketing
You can find affordable software to help with marketing your courses, setting up your online store, and CRM (Customer Relationship Management). Some companies offer a one stop solution.
22. Look for Similar Courses
Although we realize that your content is unique, shop online for similar courses. This may remind you of sections of your content that you may have overlooked.
23. Develop your Pricing Plan
Again, look for courses that offer a product that is like yours. Get an idea for the pricing you want to set on your courses. Try to stay in the mid-range on pricing. You don't want to come in too high, but you need to show your value.
24. What's the Plan for Customer Support?
Make sure you understand how your customer will contact you and what that feels like for them. Selling online can be a bit trickier when it comes to communication. You must have a plan in place to answer inquiries and complaints quickly.
25. It's All About the Headlines!
Like any other advertising, you need to engage your prospects and customers at the top of your page, or they will never get to the bottom. Make sure your marketing page has a catchy, attention grabbing headline.
26. Make the Site Visually Appealing
Making your site look awesome goes hand in hand with the headline to draw customers in and keep them wanting more.
27. Consistency is Key
Use the same font, same theme, and carry the same design through the entire curriculum. Consistency will impress.
28. Be Clear and Organized
Make sure the site flows and makes sense. People won't want to take a course from you if there are errors on your page.
29. Use a Membership Software and Sign Customers Up!
You've planned and organized... now it's time to enroll customers and start delivering content.
30. Members Only
With your membership software, you can keep "members only" topics or products that only members can access.
31. Social Media Strategy
Think about what your social media goals are. Then consider what social media platforms will work best to help you meet those goals.
32. Don't Sell... Engage!
When you're on social media, don't sell. Use this time to engage and network with others that you have common interests with.
33. Use Keywords to Find a Facebook Group
Join a group or two that are talking about things that you want to talk about too. Again, keep it social. Selling on social media is a put off.
34. Start Your Own Facebook Group
Once you've launched your courses, invite participants to form a community on social media. Set up a Facebook group and invite people as they sign up.
35. Publish an Article on Linked In
A well written article about your course topic will wow them on Linked In. Tell them about it!
36. Go on YouTube
Make short videos and post them on YouTube. Make sure that they can be found in search engine rankings.
37. Tweak Your Website as Necessary
Use analytics from your marketing software to see where the weak spots in your site are. Are people looking, but not engaging?
38. Variations on a Theme
Try to make the theme of your website related to the content. The look should express the feeling you are trying to create.
39. Link It Back
Make sure that your website contains a clear link to your course. Be sure that the link stands out!
40. Get Those Email Addresses
Be sure to capture email addresses from visitors to your site. These will become your bread and butter as you grow your business. Hopefully, I'm late to the party with this advice, and you already have an audience.
41. Here's Your Gift!
Offer a free gift to people that sign up for your email list. A newsletter, an eBook, or some other information that is useful.
42. Find a Podcast
Be the featured guest on a podcast, where you can talk about the subject matter of your course. Try to find a relevant podcast that's mid-size.
43. Blog It!
You should already have a blog, but this is a great way to get the work out about the course offerings you have.
44. Be My Guest... Blog
Offering to be a guest blogger on someone else's blog gives you a whole new audience to engage and inform.
45. Smile! You're on Webcam!
Don't overlook hosting a webinar to talk about your courses. Be persuasive, but don't give away all your content. Just throw out the juicy tidbits of knowledge and leave them wanting more.
46. Happy Landing!
Create your landing page! Be sure to include some multimedia and example course material.
47. Make Sure Your Landing Page is 100% Wonderful
This is where the action is! It's usually the first page they see, but it's definitely the last page they see before it's time to take action and ENROLL NOW
48. Stay Above the Fold
Put the important stuff "above the fold". In print advertising, this is the top portion of the page that is above where a piece of mail is folded. Online, it the part of the website you see without scrolling.
49. Keep It Simple
Keep your text on the landing page simple, and use sub headlines to keep the reader's attention. Be sure to include a clear call to action!
50. Plan to Spend Plenty of Time Marketing Your Courses
It will usually take time after you launch your courses for them to take off. This time will most likely be spent selling the value of them to countless people in your audience.
51. Engage with a Newsletter
Remember that email list we've been building? Use it to send an informative newsletter out to people that will want your course.
52. Use Your Welcome Email
Be sure to mention your course when you send a welcome email to people that opt in to your email list.
53. More About Email
Capture the email addresses of everyone that signs up for one of your courses. This will indicate if they're a good candidate for your upcoming courses.
54. Even More About Email
If you are offering something free in exchange for their email address, make sure it's something that they would buy otherwise. You have to offer something of value, or they won't be ongoing customers.
55. Sign On!
Include the name of the course in your signature line on all emails. This can be changed, of course, as the courses change.
56. Keep Your Content Valuable
Make sure you are adding value whenever you send out information or engage in social media.
57. Save Time - Save Money!
Explain to your prospective student how they will save time and money by taking your online course.
58. Just a Little Teaser
Right about the BUY NOW button, give a little peek of what they stand to learn in your virtual classroom. Make it compelling.
59. Follow Up
Don't forget to follow up with people who have completed one of your customers. Repeat customers are the easiest to snag, and loyal customers can make you a success!
60. The Role of SEO
Some website platforms will provide SEO as part of the package, or will have a plug in for it. Make sure it's utilized. It doesn't matter how awesome it is... if nobody sees it!
61. Keywords
Watch out for keyword overload. Some people think that adding a bunch of key words onto a site will boost rankings. Search engines are looking for interesting, valuable content, and will boot you out if you are oversaturated with keywords.
62. Ask for Endorsements
Once you've had people take your courses successfully, ask them to write a short testimonial about their experience. This will add credibility to your marketing efforts.
63. Start Promoting Early
As soon as you are certain that you will be offering an online course, start the buzz! Let people know that it's "coming soon" and get them excited.
64. Establish Yourself as the SME
Tell them why you're a reputable source when it comes to your niche. Is it your experience? The research you've done? Your education?
65. Avoid Offering Free Classes
Don't offer free classes. This will teach people that you're someone who likes to give free classes. If you are just starting, or if you're not feeling confident, opt for a lower fee... but not free!
66. Set Your Price According to Content
If you have a ton of content, and it includes interactive portions, multimedia gems, and goes for 10 hours, you're not going to charge the same as 4 pages of written text. Make your content worth the extra price.
67. Enter Promo Code
Price the course as you see fit, and then experiment by offering a promotion. Using a Promo Code will let you know what your discounting should be, based on sign ups.
68. Set Financial Goals for Yourself
Know when it's worth your while to do this. Be aware of what you need to make to break even, and show a profit.
69. Offer Your Services
If your courses are on a business topic, consider offering to host a webinar for a relevant business. Show them what you can do, and encourage participants to sign up for your email list for more.
70. Get a Flashy Twitter Hashtag
Get really creative and come up with an irresistible hashtag for Twitter. Something about your niche, but with an element of fun.
71. Ask for Feedback
And... use it. The advice that participants give you is invaluable. This is the part where you get your grade!
72. About the Surveys
Consider surveying the students halfway through the course, and then again at its completion. You're more likely to get answers when the course is running. So, give yourself two chances at feedback.
73. Payment Systems
Set up your payment system early in the process of launching your first course. Don't let this be a last-minute problem.
74. If You Have a Successful Course, Relaunch It
There's no reason to run a successful course once and stop. Keep rerunning this course, and it will keep making you money. You can change it up now and then, but let it stay on the market.
75. Don't Be Afraid of Hard Work
They call it "passive income", but you have to work constantly if you're going to have real success with it. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves!
76. Stand Out from the Rest
What makes your course unique? Try to offer something to entice participants away from those other guys that are competing for your customers.
77. Don't be a Generalist
You've got to pick something to specialize in, and let customers come to you. Something that you love and that you're good at. Think about it. You'll have to launch a whole training college if you want to focus on... everything!
78. Talk to the People
See if you can dedicate one or maybe two hours a week to hangout and chat with people who visit your website. This adds a personal element to the learning relationship, and can help you build your business.
79. All About You
Along these same lines, make sure you include a bio section on your website. People will do business with people that they know over strangers.
80. Shopping for an LMS
When you are considering launching an online course, you need to decide on an LMS platform. Keep in mind that some help with designing the course. Some help with marketing the courses. The best ones will do double duty for you!
81. Organize Yourself with a Chart
There's a lot that goes into creating and selling online courses. I'm sure you'll agree. Project management is key, so consider using a Gantt chart, or something similar to remind you of deadlines and to keep your work on target.
82. It's in the Cloud
Make sure that you've got a cloud storage solution in place for storing large files. I think it goes without saying these days, that storage space is important.
83. Change Is Inevitable
If you are promoting a course that will ask people to make changes in their lives, target one or two areas that they can work on. Asking people to change more than two or three things is going to lower their chances for success.
84. Show Them the Blueprint
When the course launches, the first thing you want to do with your enrollees is the preview the course. Show them the master plan and let them see what's in store.
85. Make Use of Live!
The latest trend is going "Live" on Facebook. Use this to your advantage and give a live invitation to interested parties to check out your courses.
86. Additional Information
Sometimes, you may want to suggest additional reading. Or, you might recommend that the participants review documents that are not part of the course structure. Send these in an email. It will give you further contact, and give them the information.
87. Mind Your Time
This project will take a minimum of 6 months for most people to complete. Keep that in mind from the start. This is why planning and pacing is so important.
88. Allow for Different Devices
Well before launch, check that the course shows properly on mobile devices. Many students will opt to participate on phones or tablets.
89. Assigning Homework
Many facilitators think that because a class is presented online, that they have to make up for it by overloading participants outside of designated class time. Avoid this mistake, and keep outside work to a minimum. You want them engaged for the most part.
90. It's in the Numbers
When you are marketing your online courses, remember that approximately two percent of people targeted will respond. Does that give you an idea of how many email addresses you will need to reach your revenue goals?
91. Bring a Friend
Offer people that sign up for your course a bonus if they recommend a friend that signs up. Increase your participants and your email list!
92. Test Your Launch
Before you do your full-scale launch, do a test run. Email select people on your list. Pick the ones that usually open your email. Offer them the course on a pre-launch special at 50% off. If they bite, it's a good indication that you're in good shape for the launch.
93. Be Available
Communication can make or break your success in facilitating online courses. Take the time to be available.
94. Appeal to the Emotions
One important thing to remember, and it applies to all marketing, really. Don't sell with logic. Sell with Emotion. People make buying decision based on emotions.
95. Provide Real World Scenarios
Throughout the course, give participants the "So What?". Tell them how this knowledge will benefit them, and where they can apply it.
96. Consider the Learner
People come from different educational and experiential backgrounds. It's imperative that you address them on their level. Don't talk down to them, and don't talk over their heads.
97. Do a Pre-Assessment
A quick knowledge check before starting the course will let you and your participant know where the room for improvement lies. The can be useful for both of you, and for ongoing courses.
98. Let Me Stop and Assess
Allow for periodic assessments throughout the course. How will you know if the information is sinking in otherwise? Stop and check for knowledge every now and then.
99. Have You Created a Monster?
Don't over complicate things for yourself. Don't make the course so complicated that it's hard for you to maintain and rework when necessary.
100. Keep Up with the Competition
It's important that you understand the industry, and one of the best ways to do that is to see what the other team's up to. Check in on the competition from time to time. This will help with your course development and your marketing strategy.

Whew! As you can see there are more than one or two things for you to consider before embarking on this journey. All of these particulars boil down to three basic steps:
· Creating Your Course
· Marketing Your Course

When you advertise online, you will find that you get many people who are interested in your product or service. If you live in the New York City area, you can use both NY and NJ classified ads. Here are some tips on how to buy and sell online:
Have a product or service others will want to have : Before you take out your New York classified ad, you need to figure out what it is that you want to buy or sell online. Whether it is a service or a product, you will find that you can do better by offering it online at New York classifieds. This tends to reach out to a whole spectrum of people. Many people look to NY classifieds to save money. If you are selling a product or service that others will want at a reasonable price, chances are that you will do well when selling online. If you are selling local, you will want to sell in New Jersey local classified ads as well. This can work if you are selling a service and do not want to travel too far. If selling products online, you should look to both NY and NJ classifieds. The trick to successful online sales is to reach out to as many people in the area as possible. If, for example, you are selling a car, you can use automobiles for sale ads in the New York classifieds to sell the car to those who live in or around the area. You will reach a broad spectrum of people and can sell right online. Most people today look towards online small ads such as classifieds in New York, to get the products or services that they want to purchase from others. It pays to advertise in this way. Just make sure that you have a product or service that others will want and will be willing to pay your price to get.
Know the prices when you buy online: When you buy online, such as by looking through the New York classifieds online, you should have a concept of what is a good price for the product or service, and what is a bad price. The more you take a look at New York or New Jersey classified ads, the more you will know when you are getting a bargain. Get to know the prices of what you are looking for and have a price in your head of what you are willing to pay. Once you do this, you will be able to get a better deal when you buy online. Buying and selling online is not difficult, especially when you use the aid of New York classified ads. These ads are often featured on the internet and can be a pathway towards finding products and services from individuals that you might have thought to be out of your price range. They can also be a way that you can sell your products or services to others and make money.

If you wish to sell physical products online then there are various factors to consider such as; 1. How you will deliver them to your customers? 2. Will you carry the stock yourself? 3. How will you pay for your stock?
Keeping Stock:
Holding large quantities of stock is always a problem with cost and space. If you are or have ever been in a retail trade you will know what a pain it can be. You can ease that pain by only carrying stock that turns over quickly or by using a method known as drop shipping. Many retailers end up with items that don't shift and often it is better to sell them on at a reduced price or even at a loss if necessary to free up the space for the items that do sell. When selling physical items if possible stick with small ones that take up less space and are cheaper to post to the customer.
Drop Shipping:
This can help solve your cash flow problems. Some suppliers will offer a service called drop shipping. This is ideal for anyone who does not have space for physical stock. Also it means you do not have the cost of holding the stock yourself.You can use suppliers who offer this service for any online or retail business and it works well, take the customers order and payment and simply pass on the order details to the suppliers who then post the item directly to the customer. The suppliers will often bill you monthly so the money is in the bank long before the bill becomes due. This is a great service for online selling as you can have a huge range of products listed on your website without having to physically stock them all.
Finding Suppliers:
If you are new to the world of trading then you probably wonder where all the businesses out there find products they sell to you. Some will be manufacturing their own products and selling them direct to the customer but most buy from wholesalers. Wholesalers exist for just about every type of product we buy, they are the middlemen. They purchase the products in large quantities from the manufacturers and sell them on in smaller quantities to the retail shops or traders. You can find wholesalers online or by contacting trade associations connected to the type of products you want to purchase. Another way of finding them is to attend a trade exhibition; these are often free to attend and are also a great way of finding out more information on your chosen subject. Most wholesalers will have a minimum monthly spend requirement but often it is not very high and with most you can sign up with them just by placing a reasonably sized first order.You can also find lists of suppliers in trade directories; again you will need to contact the trade association in your chosen field.
So it does not matter what your chosen products are from electrical goods to fishing equipment, there are thousands of possibilities. You just need to decide what type of product you want to sell. Below I have covered how you can produce your own products that are very well suited for online selling and where you may find others to purchase.
Non-physical products:
This covers a wide area of products or services but generally speaking I am talking about downloadable products here. Ebooks; or information books are by far the most suitable products to sell online, they are available immediately to the customer in most cases and can be sold through fully automated systems. Whatever business you are in you should be selling information products online and they are not difficult to find or create as I would recommend you do a search on "Google" or another search engine for "ebooks with resale rights" and you will be surprised just how many people are selling or even giving away ebooks for you to sell on.
Software; You can also often find software packages for sale or free that offer re-sale rights, but this will depend on availability in your chosen "niche". A good way of insuring success is to refine your chosen "subject" or "niche", the more specialised your chosen niche the better your chances of success as there will be less competition. You also need to make sure that the chosen niche has enough interest though.
Writing your own ebook:
Some people are put off by the thought of having to write their own ebook, you may think it is not something you can do but actually it is not difficult at all. If you have knowledge of a subject then you can write your own ebook. Everyone knows about a subject be it a hobby or what you do for a living, and this should be your first choice of subject to write about.
Approach the writing of it as if you are talking to a close friend or colleague and explaining it to them. This should help get you started even if you just write down a few notes at first you can expand the piece later. Often the easiest way to get started is to simply start writing and the words will begin to flow naturally. With the wonderful world of computers available to us these days you don't need to worry about spelling or grammar as programmes such as Microsoft word can take care of that for you.
If you really can't face doing it yourself though there are alternatives. You may have a relative or friend who enjoys writing and for most people you just need to offer them the incentive of earning a little extra money. There are also websites to be found that are full of people who will write for you for a fee. You may also want to take a look at some of the article sites were you can find articles on practically any subject. These sites offer copyright free articles so long as you do not edit the work and include a link to the author's own site. When producing your own ebooks you can write them using Microsoft word or similar and then you will need to purchase a pdf writer to save your work and produce the ebook. There are some free versions of pdf creators available to download, again just do a search on Google or another search engine and you will find them.
Delivering your products:
If the products you are going to be marketing and selling online are heavy, "lets say over 2 kilos" you will need to find a cost effective way of getting the items to your customers. Many couriers offer discounts for large quantities of parcels and if you are signing up to them for the first time I would advise over estimating the quantities to get a better rate. Normally couriers will review your account after 12 months so then you will have the opportunity to switch to another carrier if you have not reached your target.
Small items are less of a problem as you can use the normal postal service. One thing I have found is that if possible; do not charge extra for the postage. Customers like to get a bargain and covering your postal costs in with the item means you can advertise the fact the item is post fr.e.e. You may have to add the postage cost to the item but you can still advertise it as POST F.EE so long as you make it clear somewhere on your web-site that postage cost is included in the item total. For example discount an item and then you could state on your we-site; *FREE Postage to the UK* Then at the bottom of the page state; (*postage cost is included in the item price).
With ebooks and other downloadable products you do not need to send out anything of course, although it is worth considering offering your customers a CD version. We all like to receive things through the post from time to time so this can be a good selling point to offer a download or the product on CD as an alternative. Of course the postage cost is very low for sending this type of product which makes them ideal for online sales.
Competition:
The most important part of Internet marketing or indeed when marketing any business is to understand your competition. In order to be successful you must do your homework first, understanding if the market exists and how big it is for your chosen product or service is vital. I would say though do not be put off by the fact there are already lots of other people or businesses offering the same products or service as you. If this is the case you simply need to stand out by being better at marketing than they are, or offering something that your competitors do not. To get you started looking at your potential market Google have a useful tool you can use for gauging how popular a specific subject is. If the results show the subject to be very pop ular you may find it useful to further refine your subject to find a niche that plenty of people search for but one that does not have too much competition for you.
Remember there are hundreds of thousands of people going online everyday for the first time and each one is a potential new customer. So the market online is huge and if you pick the right product and then market the product professionally you can't fail. Having a well designed and professional looking web-site is essential for selling successfully on-line.
Help with creating products:.
If your chosen niche has a club or association connected with it in some way, you can use them in a variety of ways. They will be able to provide you with the information you need to create your products and you may be able to gain access to their members. Also this is a fantastic way to build a potential customer base and if you are not permitted actual members contact information you can still advertise your products through them.
Summary:
It may be that you are already in business and so your products or services are already defined by the factors listed here. You should then think about ways of changing your business to suit your online sales. To succeed in almost every type of business today it is essential to have an online presence of some kind either to drive customers to your physical business or to sell your products or services directly from your on-line website.
Most importantly of all you should enjoy your marketing and I hope that I have given you the inspiration to move forward and of course succeed.

You don't have to worry about security and ensuring the safety of your products and at the same time, displaying the jewelry in an elegant and fashionable manner. Selling online jewelry also requires informing the viewers on the type of jewelry on display, the amount of gold, silver, and other material used and other detailed information that may be of interest to the customer. Some people are interested in the history of well-renown jewelry while others may be concerned on the design. Selling online jewelry may require a great deal of pictures taken from different angles to accentuate the beauty and elegance of the different products. It should be coupled with detailed information highlighting the content and craftsmanship entailed in the design of the product.
The internet provides jewelry artisans with new opportunities to sell online their work to a vast majority of people worldwide. Their workmanship and creativity can be displayed and admired by millions of people. Their product is no longer limited to the few select people who have the chance of seeing the products in person or in limited catalogs. You may need to have a chat and email facility to encourage viewers to send in their comments and hopefully, place their orders. When selling online, you have to have payment facilities in place, normally through the acceptance of major credit cards or accredited web sites that handle payment transactions.
You have several alternatives to sell online the jewelry. There are several jewelry and craft web sites that may be willing to display your products. You can coordinate with them and provide them with products for them to display on their web sites. You will both benefit from the arrangement; the web site may get more viewers because of your products and you get to do online selling of your products without having to put up your own web site. You would normally choose a web site that shows complementary products and do not have competitive products, unless it is a general web site that accepts all kinds of products regardless of its association to other goods in the web site.
Web sites that specialize on jewelry and hand-crafted products with a high traffic of viewers may be a good web site to display your jewelry products. Online selling requires a good choice of words in describing your product. You cannot choose your words in accordance to the person viewing the items. Your text should be simple, encouraging and make a person want to read more about your product. It should put them in the mood to want your product or at least make them contact you for further information and hopefully, sales orders. The web page design is normally handled by the owner and your online selling will need to rely on the text and pictures of the products.
The other option is to develop your own web site. To successfully sell online from your own web page, you need to create an attractive and elegant web site with clear photos of the jewelry. Explanations on the design and method should be concise, precise and inviting. One feature you should always provide in your own web page is the shopping cart and the payment facilities. There are sites that offer alternatives for receiving payments. The biggest challenge in selling online at your own web page is creating the traffic. You can try publishing articles on useful information or setting up reciprocity arrangements with other sites. Be sure the other sites have adequate traffic and some might hopefully venture to your site.
Online selling can be lucrative if you have unique and special jewelry. Creating jewelry with your own customized design may break or make you. Have some standard jewelry on hand as a fall-back. Use trends to set your own direction. You don't need to follow the trends but knowing the trends will help you determine which direction to take in your product. Price is always a factor to contend with, even if jewelry is considered a luxury item. Be sure your prices are competitive. It is very easy for the viewer to go to different web sites and compare prices.

Let us look at what are the benefits of selling online?
Low cost to start, you can start selling online by creating a web page, take some pictures of products you are selling, put them in your webpages and start promoting your site to various places. The are many sites which offers free web page design and hosting services, all you need is to do the work, if you are going to start your online business with this method, your cost is literally zero.
Low cost to maintain, marketing cost can be an issue especially for business startup, marketing your business online can be very cost effective, you can join forums where people who are most likely to look for your products and services to market your business. For example, if you are selling automotive parts online, then go look for your local automotive forums where you can post pictures of parts you want to sell. Most forums do not charge members for selling online, your cost is again zero!
Selling online saves a great deal of time. You can work anywhere with your laptop and internet access, you don't have to travel from your house to the office and get yourself stuck in the traffic every morning or evening. Advertising online provides the convenience of sending your message out to many people with a "click" on the mouse! Well if you match this to the effort needed to spread brochures out from house to house, emailing out your promotional message saves you time. Looking at the automotive parts business, putting banner ads in automotive forums will automatically direct prospects to your website without having to spend a great deal of time selling. You can then put your precious time on other areas to grow your business and reap the benefits of selling online.
The beauty of selling online is that you can choose to work at the time you want, some people prefer to start working 4'o'clock in the morning and some at 12 midnight, you are not restricted to work from nine to five in an online business. You can reply your customer's enquiries, process your customer's orders or do marketing for your business at your convenience.
Bringing your business online allows customers to reach you from every corners of the world, prospects who speak different language can communicate with you through free translation website on their business enquiries. Payment can be secured through many online payment services. Mechandises can be arranged to be picked up by your local postage service provider. Doesn't it sounds convenient?
Your online shop is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, it can never sleep! Your customer can access your website to look at the products you offer anytime they want. If you have a fully automated online system set-up, your business is running even while you sleep. You job is to check your bank account once you are awake!

Of course, I am not going to say that it is as easy as ABC. However, if you are willing to arm yourself with some basic knowledge, you should be able to get started in no time.
The article will be helpful to you if you are:
1. Someone who is interested to start an online business.
2. A business owner who is selling things offline and is trying to figure out how you can sell your things online.
Two Different Types of Products You Can Sell Online
There are 2 types of products that you can sell online.
a. Digital Products
b. Physical Products
What Are Digital Products?
Digital products refer to products that you cannot touch or feel. Some examples of digital products are ebooks, software, videos and audios. In other words, no shipping or delivery is required when people purchase a digital product. All they need to do is to download the product.
The benefit of selling a digital product is that there is no need to worry about the inventory. The only thing you need to worry about is the bandwidth of your web hosting account if you are selling a download of a huge file size.
Many people have the misconception that you need to have something 'physical' to sell. That is not true. You can easily sell your knowledge using the internet even though your knowledge is not something 'physical'.
For example, if you have managed to lose 20 pounds in 3 months, you can always write about how you manage to do so. You can share all your knowledge in an ebook. This eBook will be a product that you can sell. Nowadays, there are so many people who want to lose weight. Therefore, there will definitely be a demand for your knowledge.
Alternatively, you can also create videos and teach people how to lose weight with specific exercises. These videos can also be packaged into a product to be sold online.
I believe you can already see the potential of selling this type of products online.
What Are Physical Products
By now, you already know what digital products are. But what are physical products? Well, physical products are basically products that you can touch and feel. For example, the bicycle that you bought online is a physical product. The baby stroller that you ordered from a local store is also a physical product. In other words, when someone buy a physical product from you on the internet, shipping and delivery is required.
Of course, when you are selling a physical product, you do need to take care of the inventory. However, people are usually more comfortable in purchasing physical products over digital products.
If you do intend to get started online, you should at least be aware of the differences between physical and digital products.
Want to start a business? To sell things online, you will need a web store. Online selling can be really fun.

If you are planning to put up an online store, which is the most common thing you can do, this is also an important decision you have to make.
Your deciding factors may vary. Of course, you do not want to sell products online that you are not familiar with. Adequate knowledge of what you are selling is at least an important consideration to be able to promote your product well.
Another important consideration in finding products to sell online is if the products are suitable for sale online. Large and bulky products as well as fragile products may not be good for your online store especially if you are targeting a worldwide market, although it can also be sold if you intend to cater only to a region near your place for ease of delivery. Example of these can be garden accents or furniture which can be impractical to ship. If you want to take advantage of the worldwide reach of the internet, you may find other products that you can sell anywhere in the world.
Another tip in finding products to sell online is to choose products that do not easily fluctuate in value. Mobile phones and electronic products for example can easily fluctuate in value if new models are released in the market. If it takes you some time to sell them, the higher the chance that it might lose value. You may also want to consider the target market you want to sell your products to.
Aside from these considerations in choosing the right products to sell, the problem of finding products to sell online also involves the supplier. Where you will get your products is always a consideration. Can your source meet the demands?
Here are some ideas where to get good products to sell in your online store.
Finding vendors may be tricky in your quest for products to sell. You can find them one by one online but it can be time-consuming and you may never know if they are indeed wholesale vendors or they may be intermediaries trying to trick you. However, you can find reliable sites online that have brought together pre-screened wholesalers and suppliers into one directory. This is a great place to find suppliers as they are pre-screened and you can rely in their validity.
You can also find wholesale vendors that are just near your place or from your neighborhood. Flea markets and garage sales can be a great place to find things that can still be marketed. Local producers are also very good source of products to sell especially arts and crafts that are unique to your locality or region. EBay is also another option in finding products to sell online.
Drop shipping is also another technique that you can make use for your products in your online store. In this process, you will just display the product for sale but the wholesaler will directly ship the products to the buyer. Although there are advantages, there are also risks involved in this technique in online selling. In fact, some scammers used drop shipping in some of their scam on the internet. To avoid this problem, you have to know the wholesalers you are dealing with.
Indeed, selling online can be profitable, but in finding products to sell online, you have to be very resourceful and careful too so that you will have a profitable and smooth-running online business.

One of the most popular sites to sell just anything that you want to sell is eBay. Indeed, eBay has been a great way to sell and make profits even if you still do not have exclusive goods.

In our daily use of it, we can hardly avoid being confronted by advertisements tempting us to try and earn money online. Knowing about sites like e-bay or amazon, two sites of online trade that almost everyone is familiar with, it is not unreasonable to be curious about other online money making opportunities. Once you begin to investigate in earnest, however, it becomes clear that learning of one kind or another will be required, even though almost all the ads would like to have you believe that it is easy street all the way. They almost shout at you:
"This just takes a second. You can make money right away. Never work for someone else again!"
No doubt, there are scams out there, but there are also many programs which generously share a great deal of important knowledge for very reasonable costs. Some people have extensive computer knowledge already, and all the required skills are in place. Most of us, though, lack the required skills and need to learn them and practice them to succeed. And why should it be otherwise? If a new job requires the mastery of a certain skill, a person able to perform that skill will be at a distinct advantage.
